One Piece: Farming from the Rocks Era

Another hour later, the battle was completely over. Facing the fierce pirates under Lind's command, the army was completely powerless to fight back and were quickly defeated and captured.

"Clean up the battlefield, and then start to eliminate the corresponding targets according to the previous plan!"

"As for these captured soldiers, just follow me. After we return to Orland Island, I will take them to labor reform!"

On the boat, Linde and his officers discussed the follow-up arrangements.

Lind did not intend to eliminate the royal families and nobles of the member states himself, so he would leave it to his cadres.

Lind himself plans to go to the Kingdom of Flowers to take a look.

On the one hand, it is to collect talents, and on the other hand, it is to collect information about the Four Sacred Beasts. Linde is quite envious of these mythical beast devil fruits.

At the same time, Lin De was also quite curious about the gossips from Zhang Yang's family.

Chapter 76 The Kingdom of Flowers

After the fleets separated, Lind led the Kunpeng team and Liana's team straight to the Kingdom of Flowers.

After knowing Lind's itinerary, Zhang Yang, who had been silent all the way, took the initiative to find Lind.

"Boss, I have just contacted my eldest brother."

"After hearing the news that we were heading to the Kingdom of Flowers, he wanted to lead people to greet us."

Zhang Yang had a bright smile on his face, and it seemed that this news really made him very happy.

When Lin De heard Zhang Yang's words, he showed an interested look and asked, "Oh, who is your eldest brother?"

"My eldest brother is Zhang Tong, the current leader of the Five Treasures Navy of the Flower Kingdom. He has some status in the Flower Kingdom."

"I heard that you were coming and I really wanted to meet you."

"And since you are coming to the Kingdom of Flowers to recruit talents this time, my elder brother can also help a lot." Zhang Yang's tone was excited, and it was obvious that he really hoped that Lin De would go.

Seeing what his old friend meant, Lin De didn't intend to spoil the fun, and said with a smile: "Then I'll trouble you, big brother. If you need any help, just tell me. You're welcome."

Zhang Liang heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Linde's answer. Putting aside other things, at least if Linde caused trouble in the Kingdom of Flowers, it would not affect his family.

Zhang Yang knew that Lin De's purpose in coming to Xihai was to eliminate the royal families and nobles of the member states, and perhaps take their wealth.

When Lin De came to the Flower Kingdom, he did not intend to treat the Flower Kingdom like the other member states.

However, the Flower Kingdom's navy has a long history and rich financial resources. Zhang Yang was really worried that Lin De would suddenly set his eyes on the wealth of the navy.

As for Zhang Yang's real purpose of returning to the Kingdom of Flowers this time, he can only take it one step at a time. Zhang Yang is not sure whether Lin De is willing to help.

As Lind agreed to Zhang Yang's request, the fleet adjusted its direction again and headed towards the Wubao Navy.

As a truly great country, the Kingdom of Flowers naturally has more than one port. Basically, every navy will be stationed in a port, and in that port, they are the local emperors.

Originally, Linde planned to go to the port where the Babao Navy was stationed to see if there were any green peppers going out to sea.

But since Zhang Yang has spoken, then going to the Wubao Navy's port will also be of great help to Linde's actions.

Soon, Lind encountered a huge fleet, which was different from most of the sailing ships that Lind had seen, which were full of the atmosphere of the Age of Exploration.

The sailboats of the Wubao Navy have a distinct Chinese style, just like the Ming treasure ships that Lind saw on the Internet in his previous life.

Lind's eyes lit up at this. With this strong-style fleet, Lind knew that he could gain a lot of desired talents in this operation.

Regardless of the overall environment of the Kingdom of Flowers, the Wubao Navy should have preserved a lot of heritage, such as traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese food, Chinese architecture and even ancient martial arts.

"Hahahaha, Captain Linde, I've long heard of your name!" As soon as he saw Linde, Zhang Dong took the initiative to step forward and greeted him enthusiastically.

"Hahahaha, Chief Zhang Tong, nice to meet you!" Faced with Zhang Tong's enthusiasm, Linde also responded with a big laugh.

"Haha, Captain Linde, Zhang Yang has already told me the purpose of your coming to the Kingdom of Flowers. Don't worry, in the southeastern coast of the Kingdom of Flowers, the words of our Five Treasures Navy still carry weight!"

"Just give me some books and talents!"

"When you come to the Kingdom of Flowers, you should enjoy yourself for a while and experience the local customs and culture of our Kingdom of Flowers!"

Zhang Tong's tone was so sincere that Lin De felt a little embarrassed.

However, Zhang Tong's words really made Lin De very excited. With such a local boss around, many things would indeed be much more convenient.

"Then I'll trouble you, Chief Zhang Tong. This is just a small gift. Please accept it, Chief Zhang Tong."

As soon as Linde finished speaking, several members of the Kunpeng team carried out two boxes.

One box contained various magical wines researched by Lind's men;

The other box contains powerful weapons made by Lind's men using the materials that Lind mutated.

"These are some specialties of our Aland Island. We want to express our gratitude to you. I won't go into details about the specific effects. You can ask Zhang Yang later."

Zhang Tong's eyes lit up when he saw the items in the box. He knew these specialties of Orland Island without Linde introducing them.

Although limited in quantity, they are available for sale on Åland Island.

The big businessmen in West Sea would always import some from Oran Island and bring them back to West Sea for auction. Zhang Tong also participated in many auctions.

However, due to lack of financial resources, he could only bid for a small amount. It can be said that the things Linde sent this time are more than the collections of the eight navies of the Kingdom of Flowers combined.

"Hahahaha, you're too polite. Captain Linde, don't worry. No matter what you ask for this time, our Five Treasures Navy will do our best!"

"Even if they want to go to war with other naval forces, or even destroy the Flower Kingdom royal family, we will fully support them!"

Zhang Tong didn't bother to be polite with Lin De. He immediately signaled his men to accept the gifts and made a promise.

"Captain Lind, let's go back to the Wubao Navy's base first and enjoy the delicious food and wine of our Flower Kingdom tonight!"

After hearing this, Lin De's eyes lit up. He knew Zhang Yang's level. Since Zhang Tong said so, he would definitely be able to experience a lot of delicious food tonight!

"Hahahaha, let's get going quickly. I can't wait!"

The fleet is now not far from the port, and the weather is good today. The two fleets have a smooth journey and successfully arrived at the port of the Five Treasures Navy of the Kingdom of Flowers in the evening.

Dinner did not disappoint Linde.

As the local tyrant on the southeast coast of the Kingdom of Flowers, the chefs of the Wubao Navy are indeed of very high standard.

Coupled with the compatibility of the ingredients, Lin De originally thought that Zhang Yang was the ceiling of culinary skills in this world.

But today, Linde felt that Zhang Yang’s cooking skills still had room for improvement, and this dinner was truly a treat.

The style of the dish is the same as the Huaiyang cuisine in his previous life, but Lind feels that it would have been difficult for the Huaiyang cuisine in his previous life to reach this level.

After all, there are big gaps in both the ingredients and the physical fitness of the chefs.

The meal was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests, and Linde was in a very good mood.

So he asked about Zhang Yang's situation, why he wanted to leave the Kingdom of Flowers, and whether he needed his help.

Lin De felt that just for the sake of the delicious food prepared by Zhang Tong, he had to help out.

"Hahaha, Captain Lind, it's a long story..."

As a leader, Zhang Tong is still more magnanimous than Zhang Yang.

"You should now understand the situation in our Flower Kingdom. The royal family is in the center, and the eight naval forces are stationed in the eight directions, almost independently of each other."

"This is actually because the royal family of the Flower Kingdom are outsiders, not the natives of the Flower Kingdom."

"Seven hundred years ago, the current royal family of the Flower Kingdom, with the support of the World Government, invaded the Flower Kingdom and wiped out the royal family at that time."

Chapter 77 The Past of the Flower Kingdom

"But even if the ancestors of the current royal family of the Flower Kingdom wiped out the previous royal family, they were still short of manpower and could not completely suppress the rebellions in various parts of the Flower Kingdom."

"In the end, we relied on the power of the World Government to barely persuade the four largest resistance forces to surrender, become the new royal family, and join the World Government."

"These four resistance forces are the ancestors of the One Treasure, Three Treasures, Five Treasures, and Seven Treasures naval forces."

"Then, in order to balance these four navies, he asked two of his trusted followers and two of his surrendered lackeys to form another four navies."

"That is, the Second Treasure, Fourth Treasure, Sixth Treasure, and Eighth Treasure Navy."

"After seven hundred years of evolution, it finally became the current structure."

"Except for the four naval forces on our side that have always remained independent, the other four naval forces have also basically formed an independent state."

"But due to the power of the World Government, they have maintained a tacit understanding, and no one has dared to overthrow the Flower Kingdom Royal Family."

"Although the Flower Kingdom Royal Family has lost all its power now, it still has the support of the World Government, so it still has to be the leader on paper."

"And Zhang Yang had a conflict with a member of the royal family of the Kingdom of Flowers when he was working as a royal chef in the palace of the Kingdom of Flowers, and he killed a prince."

"Although the Five Treasures Navy is not worried about the Flower Kingdom's royal family, they still have to leave the Flower Kingdom in order to maintain superficial harmony."

Zhang Tong introduced the previous history bit by bit, which opened Lin De's eyes. He didn't expect that the Kingdom of Flowers had such a history.

At the same time, Linde thought about the purpose of his coming to Xihai, and a bold idea emerged in his mind.

"Captain Zhang Tong, are you interested in becoming the king of the Kingdom of Flowers?"

Linde's sudden question caught Zhang Tong off guard.

Is this the pirate of the New World? Sure enough, he is different from those little Karami in the West Sea. He dares to directly change the king of a big country like the Kingdom of Flowers if he disagrees with them.

Although he was somewhat surprised, Zhang Tong managed to control his expression and said:

"Captain Lind, I am not interested in the King of the Flower Kingdom, but I know two people who are definitely interested."

Although he was very tempted, Zhang Tong knew that the King of the Flower Kingdom was a hot potato. It was okay when Lin De was around.

After Lind leaves, the Five Treasures Navy will not be able to withstand the retaliation of the World Government with its small size.

"Oh, Chief Zhang Tong, tell us who it is." Lin De showed an interested look. It seems that this plan is indeed feasible.

"One is the leader of the Yibao Navy, Zhu Feng. The ancestors of the Yibao Navy were originally a branch of the previous royal family. If there is hope for the restoration of the country, they will definitely be interested."

"The other is the leader of Erbao's navy, Shi Kaiyuan. He has the best relationship with the World Government among the navy leaders. If the royal family is destroyed, the World Government will definitely be willing to support him as the new king."

After hearing what Zhang Tong said, Lin De fell into deep thought. Both of Zhang Tong's candidates were indeed good. Anyway, Lin De would withdraw after completing this task and had no plans to form an alliance with the Kingdom of Flowers.

After all, the current World Government is still very powerful. It would be fine to directly eliminate the kings of the member states, but what if the king of a big country like the Flower Kingdom is replaced by one of their own.

There is a high probability that Lind will not be able to hold on. After all, the Flower Kingdom is too far away from Lind’s base camp, and the current strength is still insufficient.

Perhaps as time goes by, my power will grow further, the world government's control over the world will be further weakened, and it will have no time to care about other things, then there will be hope.

By then, there will probably be a wave of independence, with various kingdoms declaring independence every day, and the Flower Kingdom will not stand out among them.
